The only problem is that it says it come with "Pair of OEM header gaskets" lol. I would link their site but I dont think i can. Any opinions on whether I should stick with the Grimspeed or will the ones JDL auto offer work just as good? @ATL BRZ wana chime in??

The picture is the JDL gaskets that says theyre OEM. dont look oem to me
I'm running the JDL gaskets with a Nameless header, which is notoriously tricky to keep from leaking I guess... I did have a leak, but not from these gaskets - it was at the header>overpipe where the bolts I have were really tricky to use. YMMV.
